Jaffa Visitor Center-Jaffa2030 (Address), is a project by the JaffaProject-Ayam Association (responsible for the oral history project of the city), presenting information, tours and group sessions aimed to inflame the imagination about the city, and take it out from the borders of the limiting Israeli Hegemonic historical/political point of view rising with it for a reconnection with the network of middle eastern cities it was once part of, which we believe is essential for understanding the city‘s past, present and future. At the same time highlighting present data and exposing springs of grassroots activities and scenes which represent opportunities and danger points for future cosmopolitan urban space aware of its rule in creating a better Arab World/Middle Eastern society.
